Tired of fighting for street parking and pretending your tiny balcony counts as “outdoor living”? Say hello to this freshly refreshed, light-filled first-floor apartment in the sought-after Starlight complex, tucked away in a leafy pocket of Watson, yet still dangerously close to everything good in life.
Step inside and you’re greeted by a bright, spacious open-plan living and dining area that flows straight out to a generous balcony, the perfect stage for your morning coffee ritual, sunset happy hours, or chillin’ amongst the trees
The contemporary kitchen is functional: stone benchtops, big pantry, quality stainless-steel appliances, and enough storage to hide all your impulse Amazon purchases. Both bedrooms are genuinely well-sized with built-in robes. The main has its own private ensuite so you can avoid awkward hallway negotiations in the mornings.
The boring but brilliant stuff:
• Reverse-cycle air conditioning (because Canberra weather is chaotic)
• North-east aspect for that glorious morning light
• Two secure side-by-side underground car spaces + separate storage unit (yes, you can finally park like an adult)
• Full-height tiling and a proper bathtub in the main bathroom
Starlight perks: beautifully maintained gardens, a sparkling residents’ swimming pool, and ease of car, pedestrian and visitor access. Perfectly positioned for real life moments from Dickson & Watson shops, EPIC Farmers Market, Mount Majura trails, light rail, and a quick zip into the City.
Perfect for:
• First-home buyers who want style without the mortgage panic
• Downsizers who still want space and soul
• Investors looking for a low-maintenance, easily rentable winner ($550–$570pw)
